FILM TRAILER
• A way in which a film is advertised and promoted is through the use of a film trailer.
• The trailer, like the poster, is used to get the film-going audience excited about the film and generate interest so that they will go and see it.
• It also introduces some ideas about plot, characters and theme.

LEARNING INTENTIONS
To explore the film technique of LIGHTING
To understand how lighting can be used to build atmosphere and set tone within a film
![Page 25: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
LIGHTING
Lighting is used by the directors and cinematographer to create MOOD and ATMOSPHERE.
Two types of lighting used are LOW-KEY LIGHTING and HIGH-KEY LIGHTING.
![Page 26: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
LIGHTING
LOW-KEY lighting is when the lighting of a scene is very dark, with shadows and only a few bright spots. This helps create TENSION in a scene, and indicates that something may be about to happen, or to emphasise a subdued mood.
![Page 27: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
LIGHTING
HIGH-KEY lighting is when a shot is evenly lit, with few dark areas. There tends not to be a lot of tension in scenes like this.
![Page 28: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

LEARNING INTENTIONS
To develop knowledge of the different camera shots used within film-making
To understand their purpose and the effect they have on an audience
![Page 34: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
FILM TECHNIQUES - SEQUENCE
What is a SEQUENCE?
In the same way that you know the code for getting words in a sentence in the right order (you don’t say, for example. ‘Name my John is’), the film maker has codes for conveying his messages. A film-maker’s ‘sentence’ is a sequence of shots; and to make sense they come in a definite order.
Now, let’s look at the worksheet
![Page 35: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
CAMERA SHOTS AND ANGLES
Long shots are often used at the start of a film to tell you where a film is set.
A long shot is taken from far away and shows a big picture.
Look at the following long shots and discuss what information the director might be wanting to tell the audience about where and when the film will take place or even what kind of film it will be.
![Page 36: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
LONG SHOT
Where is this?
Note how just one image instantly sets this film in a particular place.
With one frame the director tells the audience where the film will be set.
![Page 37: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Think about how these shots have been used in this film. Is it effective?
![Page 52: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
LEARNING INTENTIONS
To explore how directors use CAMERA ANGLES in film-making
To develop understanding of the effect these angles can create within a film
![Page 53: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
CAMERA ANGLES
We are going to look at 2 kinds of camera angles:
A high camera angle – when the camera looks down on a person or thing.
A low camera angle – when the camera looks up at a person or thing.
![Page 54: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
HIGH CAMERA ANGLE
Here is a camera man up high aiming his camera DOWN at the subject for a high camera angle.
![Page 55: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
HIGH CAMERA ANGLESLOOK DOWN ON THE SUBJECT
![Page 56: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
HIGH CAMERA ANGLE
This shot from The Lord of the Rings shows Frodo looking down on Gollum making him look small and weak.
![Page 57: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
HIGH CAMERA ANGLE
What is the director trying to CONVEY through this camera angle? What does this shot EMPHASISE about the character?
![Page 58: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
LOW CAMERA ANGLE
A low angle shot is when the camera is aimed UP at the subject.
![Page 59: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
LOW CAMERA ANGLE
A low camera angle makes the person look powerful and strong.
It was frequently used in propaganda to highlight the strengths and omnipotence of leaders, such as Hitler.
![Page 60: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
MORE LOW CAMERA ANGLES

LOW CAMERA ANGLE By placing the audience below this character, we
understand that he can see more than those below him at this point – he has more knowledge and therefore is less vulnerable.
![Page 62: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

SOUND
Now, let’s watch part of the movie.
Make a note in your jotter of when you see:
Certain sound techniques, such as music or SFX Note down the effect these have on the scene Why has the director used these? What do they emphasise? What meaning is he trying to convey to us?

LEARNING INTENTIONS
To explore and understand MISE-EN-SCENE in a film
To develop knowledge of how MISE-EN-SCENE can be used to emphasise characterisation, plot, and atmosphere
![Page 79: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
MISE-EN-SCÈNE
The arrangement of everything that appears in the framing – actors, lighting, décor, props, costume – is called mise-en-scène, a French term which means “placing on stage.”
The frame and camerawork also constitute the mise-en-scène of a movie.
It basically means everything what you see in each scene of a film.
![Page 80: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR?
Setting and props.
Costume and make up.
Lighting and colour.
The way items and people are positioned.
ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS CAN TELL US MORE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS, SETTING AND PLOT
![Page 81: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
SETTING AND PROPS
In the movie, Jamal and Salim are incredibly poor.
One of the PROPS that emphasises this is old cart that the kids play around.
![Page 82: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
COSTUMES AND MAKE UP
What COSTUMES are used in the movie to tell us more about the characters?
Think about what Jamal, Salim and Latika wear.
![Page 83: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
THE WAY ITEMS AND PEOPLE ARE POSITIONED
The most important thing in a shot is usually placed IN THE CENTRE
Our eye naturally falls to the centre of a frame
Film makers use this to their advantage and place what they want us to focus on most in the middle of the shot
![Page 84: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)

TASK Continue watching the movie
In your jotters, describe the mise-en-scène, and what this tells us about the CHARACTERS, SETTING and PLOT
Remember, you need to include:- Setting and props- Costume and make up- Lighting and colour- The way items and people are positioned

LEARNING INTENTIONS
To begin to explore SYMBOLISM and how it is used in films
To understand how SYMBOLISM can create meaning and highlight themes within a film
![Page 90: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
SYMBOLISM
A symbol is an object, action or idea that represents something other than itself, often of a more abstract nature.
Often, a film will use symbols to emphasise a movie’s themes, ideas and issues.
![Page 91: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)

TASK
Continue watching the movie
In your jotters, note down any possible SYMBOLS used in the film.
You should write down what the symbol is, as well as what you think it represents.
![Page 97: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
LEARNING INTENTIONS
To develop knowledge about EDITING and how it is used in film-making
To understand how EDITING can be used to convey meaning and tone
![Page 98: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
EDITING
EDITING is a post-production film-making process.
The director creates a SEQUENCE by putting certain shots together.
The two main techniques we will look at are the LENGTH OF THE SHOT and FLASHBACK.
![Page 99: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
The length of a shot or scene allows a director to set the atmosphere and tone of a particular part of the movie.
For example, in order to create tension and excitement, a director would use short shots and scene lengths, to reflect the fast pace.
EDITING
![Page 100: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Slumdog Millionaire makes great use of the FLASHBACK.
This technique allows us to better understand the characters in the movie – where they have come from; their personalities; and how their actions have affected their current state.
EDITING

ACTIVE LISTENING TASK
As we watch the end of the movie, consider how the director uses EDITING to create tension, set the tone and help us understand the characters.
You should make notes covering EDITING as well as the other techniques.

CRITICAL ESSAY STRUCTURE
All good critical essays have a structure to them.
Understanding what goes in to a critical essay is vital to ensure our work has quality and depth.
We will use the PEE format as a guide
- Point- Evidence- Evaluation (analysis)
![Page 119: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
INTRODUCTION
Start with TART
(Title, Author, Refer to Task)
E.g. Slumdog Millionaire, directed by Danny Boyle, is a film which explores Jamal Malik’s life from his childhood in the slums of Bombay, to present day where he is poised to win the prize on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? The director uses film techniques such as editing, sound, and mise-en-scene to create an exciting and satisfying ending to the movie.
Now, write your own introduction.
YOU HAVE TEN MINUTES
![Page 120: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
POINT
The Point is simply what each paragraph is about- you make a main point in every paragraph you write. This is usually the TOPIC SENTENCE you use.
Do not signpost your paragraph e.g. do not say “I am going to talk about”
E.g. The director uses EDITING at the end of the film to create tension and excitement.
![Page 121: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
WHAT IS A TOPIC SENTENCE?
This is basically a sentence that introduceswhat the paragraph is going to be about.
e.g. The director uses EDITING at the end of the film to create tension and excitement.
![Page 122: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
TOPIC SENTENCES
All TOPIC SENTENCES should make some reference to the essay question.
A good way to do this is through the KEY WORDS we extract from the essay question.
Look at the following essay questions and topic sentences and see if you can match them up.
![Page 123: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
REFERENCING THE QUESTION
A reader should be able to guess what the essay question is simply by looking at your essay.
It is VITAL that you ensure you refer to the question throughout – this is the only way you will be sure that you have actually answered the question!
Look at the paragraphs on the sheets and discuss in pairs what you think the essay question could be.
![Page 124: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
EVIDENCE
The evidence is the description of the shot or scene that you have to back up your point (if you were writing about a novel or poem, it would be a quotation)
It is important that you pick a shot or scene that you can explain and evaluate
Make sure there is enough information in each shot or scene that you pick
e.g. As we approach the climax of the film, the length of the scenes and shots become shorter and shorter, moving quickly between Jamal in the gameshow studio, Latika running through the streets, and Salim filling the bathtub with money, preparing to kill his boss.
![Page 125: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
EVALUATION(ANALYSIS)
This is the chance for you to explain how the quotation backs up the point you are making
You need to make sure that you fully explain the quotation
You then need to evaluate the quotation- give your opinion on how successful it is
Your opinion should be implicit - do not write “I think”
![Page 126: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
EXPLAIN/ EVALUATE(ANALYSIS)
e.g. As we approach the climax of the film, the length of the scenes and shots become shorter and shorter, moving quickly between Jamal in the gameshow studio, Latika running through the streets, and Salim filling the bathtub with money, preparing to kill his boss.
In these scenes , the length of the shots and quick movement between scenes reflect the fast pace and excitement at this stage of the film. The director’s use of this technique engages us as an audience, and highlights the tension as we reach the end of the movie.
![Page 127: Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny B oyle](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56813574550346895d9cd888/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
PUTTING P + E + E TOGETHER
P:The director uses editing at the end of the film to create tension and excitement.
E:As we approach the climax, the length of the scenes and shots become shorter and shorter, moving quickly between Jamal in the gameshow studio, Latika running through the streets, and Salim filling the bathtub with money, preparing to kill his boss.
